TRI-FIELD PROCESSING*

Yamaha's exclusive Tri-Field Processing which applies Digital Sound Field Processing technology to Dolby Digital and DTS to create a true movie theater experience in the home. It develops independent enhanced sound fields for the front signals as well as for left and right surround.

DISCRETE POWER TRANSISTORS

Discrete power transistors rather than IC chips are used in the amplifier section to provide the cleanest sound possible. The amp delivers 70 watts to all five channels.

ACCLAIMED YAMAHA IC CHIPS*

Yamaha's YSS-908 chip provides Dolby Digital and Pro Logic with full channel separation and no front-to-back bleedthrough in addition to Music and Cinema DSP and Tri-Field Processing.

SUROUND MODES INCLUDING MUSIC, CINEMA, AND TRI-FIELD DSP PROGRAMS*

Yamaha's exclusive Digital Sound Field Processing for music recreates the acoustic personalities of actual concert halls and other venues, such as the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, Village Gate in New York, Anaheim Stadium, and concert halls and churches in Europe. Cinema DSP multiplies the effects of Dolby Pro Logic and Yamaha DSP to provide the best possible Pro Logic movie theater recreation in your home. Tri-Field Processing DSP does the same for Dolby Digital.

6-CHANNEL INPUTS FOR EXTERNAL DECODER*

The RX-V595's rear panel has input jacks to accommodate an external 6-channel decoder. So the receiver is ready for any other 5.1 channel format, should one be developed.

TWO DIGITAL INPUTS*

The RX-V595 can accommodate two digital sources DVD/LD and CD. The DVD/LD input has both optical and coaxial digital connections.

AUTO PRIORITY INPUT SELECTION

When different input formats are connected from the same source, the RX-V595 automatically prioritizes them and selects PCM, and finally the analog input.

AUTO SOUND DECODER

The RX-V595 senses a Dolby Digital signal and will automatically switch the receiver to that mode when the signal is detected.

NEW YAMAHA UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL

THREE AUDIO AND FOUR AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS*

The RX-V595 is a versatile receiver incorporating three sets of audio-only inputs and four pairs of A/V inputs, including one set of A/V inputs on the front panel for fast and easy connection.

LOW IMPEDANCE DRIVE CAPABILITY AND IMPEDANCE SWITCHING

Yamaha's famed low impedance drive circuitry is included in this receiver so that it can handle virtually all loads and a wide variety of speakers. For further speaker matching, the receiver's back-panel switches can be set for either 4- or 8-ohm speakers.

LINEAR DAMPING FACTOR CIRCUIT

The advantage of full range, 20 to 20,000 Hz, damping is that it improves the definition and resolution of the sound output throughout the audible frequency range.

A/B SPEAKER SELECTOR

Allows selection of either a first set of speakers or a second -- or both.

SLEEP TIMER

Permits a delayed receiver turn off. You can set it for up to two hours in 30 minute increments.

40-STATION DIRECT ACCESS PRESET TUNING

Up to 40 preset AM and FM stations can be grouped in five groups eight stations. These groupings make it easy for family members to easily access their favorite stations or to have musical genres, such as all the jazz stations, grouped together.
